"Variation" is the formal term for a musical composition based on a previous musical work, and many of those traditional methods (changing the key, meter, rhythm, harmonies or tempi of a piece) are used in much the same manner today by sampling musicians.

  • Holger Czukay, Köln Juni 2004
    Interview mit Holger Czukay, Köln Juni 2004 ?: Herr Czukay, sie haben schon Ende der 60er Jahre mit Tonband-Loops gearbeitet. Sind Loops für Sie ein relevantes, musikalisches Thema? Holger Czukay: Ja, ganz klar. Wie auch zum Beispiel die Remixe sind die Loops eine Kunstform, die an die Zeit und an die technische Entwicklung gebunden ist. Mit Can haben wir das recht früh angefangen. Weil die Digitaltechnik nicht entwickelt worden war, haben wir Loops mit Analogtechnik, also mit dem Tonband, gemacht. Wir mussten das machen, weil wir als Instrumentalisten nicht gut genug waren. Wir mussten massive Korrekturen anbringen, und mit den Korrekturen fängt eigentlich alles an. Die Aufnahme war eigentlich kein Problem, aber da waren so und soviel Fehler drin, weil wir alles andere als perfekt waren. Wir hätten eine Talentprobe gar nicht bestanden. Was uns groß gemacht hat, war unsere Vision: erstens mit kleinsten Einheiten, also Loops, die Grundlage für unsere Musik zu schaffen. Und zweitens, dass selbst unsere allerersten Aufnahmen, die wir eingespielt haben, alles beinhalten sollte, ohne etwas auszusagen. Das ist ein ganz wichtiges Argument, denn wenn Sie alles beeinhalten und nichts aussagen, dann sind sie cool. Die Musik, die sich daraus entwickelte, muss in dem, was wir das Grundband genannt haben, enthalten sein. ?: Warum soll man als Musiker nichts aussagen? Czukay: Wenn Sie etwas aussagen, dann nehmen Sie sich ja alles weg. Dann fangen sie an, zu interpretieren, und Interpretation ist das letzte, was wir wollen... ?: Das erinnert an bestimmte Aussagen von Künstlern der Minimal Art, zum Beispiel Donald Judd, der in Zusammenhang mit seiner Kunst von „specific objects“ gesprochen hat: Reihen von Objekten, die nur für sich selbst stehen..

Introduction Electric Junk: Krautrock’s Identity Crisis If there is any musical subculture to which this modern age of online music consumption has been particularly kind, it is certainly the obscure, groundbreaking, and oft misunderstood German pop music phenomenon known as “krautrock”. That krautrock’s appeal to new generations of musicians and fans both in Germany and abroad continues to grow with each passing year is a testament to the implicitly iconoclastic nature of the style; krautrock still sounds odd, eccentric, and even confrontational approximately twenty-five years after the movement is generally considered to have ended.1 In fact, it is difficult nowadays to even page through a recent issue of major periodicals like Rolling Stone or Spin without chancing upon some kind of passing reference to the genre.

  • Booklet Gormenghast
    A FANTASY OPERA BY IRMIN SCHMI DT Irmin Schmidt, founder of the legendary group CAN, has written an opera: GORMENGHAST. Commissioned by Wuppertaler Bühnen, the work was performed in the English language and premiered at the Operahouse Wuppertal on 15. November 1998. Inspired by Mervyn Peake’s masterpiece of gothic fantasy, English novelist Duncan Fallowell wrote the libretto in St. Petersburg, combining romance, comedy and futurism into an adventure of epic strangeness peopled by unforgettable characters. The opera is in 3 acts and centres on the rise and fall of Steerpike, a courageous, clever and charming kitchen-boy who becomes by degrees the murderous tyrant of Gormenghast Castle and its domain. In the process he bewitches and destroys Fuchsia the daughter of Gormen ghast’s opium-addicted ruler. Finally he meets his own dramatic death. The other inhabitants of this vivid decaying realm are drawn into the terrible tale. Irmin Schmidt, who studied under Ligeti and Stockhausen, not only created in CAN one of the most influential of avant garde groups, but is also a classical conductor and pianist and has com- posed music for over 70 film productions. His work transforms elements of the popular, ethnic and classical into a wholly original musical language . In both libretto and music, this integration of high culture and popular culture is not like any- thing which has gone before: it is achieved with perfect naturalness, carrying the art of opera forward into a new phase. The result is both accessible and magically unexpected: GORMENGHAST is a major addition to the world of musical theatre.

  • Krautrock: the Obscure Genre That Changed the Sound of Rock by Zane Van Dusen
    Krautrock: The Obscure Genre That Changed the Sound of Rock By Zane Van Dusen In 1968, a new genre of music appeared in Germany. This music, which had elements of 1960’s rock and experimental music, received the patronizing nickname ‘Krautrock,’ from the British press.1 Due to the relatively small size of this musical movement and the somewhat offensive moniker, Krautrock was all but forgotten in the 1980s and 1990s. Music critics and historians placed the bands from this movement (like Faust, Neu!, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream) in broad genres like “progressive rock” and “psychedelic rock,” and the “press would [not] give such bands more than a jokey note in the 'Where are they now' columns.”2 Then, in 1995, Julian Cope released a book titled Krautrocksampler. The book outlined a history of the Krautrock genre, including reviews of important bands, albums and concerts, and concluded with a list of Cope’s top 50 Krautrock albums. Cope’s book received much praise and started a huge revival of interest within the underground music scene, in addition to introducing “the word 'Krautrock' in a positive, pouting glam rock way.”3 Since the release of Krautrocksampler, Krautrock has become a buzzword in experimental, indie and electronic music publications, like Wire, Pitchfork, and Electronic Musician, and its wide ranging influence is often noted. Although Krautrock was a small and localized movement, this unique genre had a profound impact on modern music, and is just starting to get recognition for it. History and Cultural Background In the 1950s and 1960s, British and American rock music had taken the music world by storm.

  • Ethnoforgery and Outsider Afrofuturism Feature Article Trace Reddell University of Denver (US)
    Ethnoforgery and Outsider Afrofuturism Feature Article Trace Reddell University of Denver (US) Abstract This essay detours from Afrofuturism proper into ethnological forgery and Outsider practices, foregrounding the issues of authenticity, authorship and identity which measure Afrofuturism’s ongoing relevance to technocultural conditions and the globally-scaled speculative imagination. The ethnological forgeries of the German rock group Can, the work of David Byrne and Brian Eno, and trumpeter Jon Hassell’s Fourth World volumes posit an “hybridity-at-the-origin” of Afrofuturism that deconstructs racial myths of identity and appropriation/exploitation. The self-reflective and critical nature of these projects foregrounds issues of origination through production strategies that combine ethnic instrumentation and techniques, voices sampled from radio and TV broadcast, and genre-mashing hybrids of rock and funk along with unconventional styles like ambient drone, minimalism, noise, free jazz, field recordings, and musique concrète. With original recordings and major statements of Afrofuturist theory in mind, I orchestrate a deliberately ill-fitting mixture of Slavoj Žižek’s critique of multiculturalism, Félix Guattari’s concept of “polyphonic subjectivity,” and Marcus Boon’s idea of shamanic “ethnopsychedelic montage” in order to argue for an Outsider Afrofuturism that works along the lines of an alternative modernity at the seam of subject identity and technocultural hybridization. In tune with the Fatherless sensibilities that first united black youth in Detroit (funk, techno) and the Bronx (hip-hop) with Germany’s post-WWII generation (Can’s krautrock, Kraftwerk’s electro), Outsider Afrofuturism opens up alternative routes toward understanding subjectivity and culture—through speculative sonic practices in particular—while maintaining social behaviors that reject multiculturalism’s artificial paternal origins, boundaries and lineages.
